Endothelial ocular herpes

Case Report:

Successful Treatment of Endothelial Herpes with Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS)

Background:

Endothelial herpes can significantly impair vision, often necessitating corneal transplant surgery. This case illustrates the effective use of Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS) in treating such a condition.

Patient Presentation:

A patient with endothelial herpes presented with visual acuity of 20/400. Following evaluation, the decision was made to apply CDS in the anterior chamber, accompanied by an air bubble to enhance the dispersion and efficacy of the treatment.

Intervention:

CDS was administered intraoperatively, utilizing a technique that involved positioning an air bubble within the anterior chamber. This method aimed to maximize the antiseptic effect of CDS while also leveraging its electromolecular charge properties.

Outcome:

Post-treatment assessment revealed a remarkable reversal of the condition, achieving visual acuity of 20/20. The patient did not require corneal transplant surgery, and there were no adverse effects noted throughout the treatment process.

Discussion:

This case highlights the promising role of CDS in ophthalmology as a novel therapeutic option for endothelial herpes. The combination of its antiseptic properties and innovative electromolecular charge enhancement presents a significant advancement in treatment modalities for ocular conditions.

Conclusion:

The application of CDS in this case led to excellent visual recovery without complications, suggesting its potential as an effective alternative to surgical intervention in similar cases. Further studies are warranted to establish its efficacy and safety profile across a broader patient population.
